if you could take the input credit for the asset vat amount will not form part of cost of fixed assets

Depreciation is all about splitting the Total Capitalised Amount over a number of years.
If you have not capitalised the VAT amount, then you obviously cannot take depreciation. [eg. Whn you have taken input tax credit of VAT paid on capital goods, you cannot capitalise such VAT]
